Iphone 5 Case and Cradle Arm

thingiverse

Securely hold your iPhone 5 in a vehicle or on a desk with this snap-fit case that fits into the adjustable cradle arm. Grooves along the phone's edge provide a firm grip, making it ideal for Facetime video chats. Choose from three types of feet for the cradle arm: 'Bracket Foot' (a small flat base), 'Bracket Foot Screw Flange' (wide base with sunken holes for screws), or 'Bracket Foot Wide Flange' (large, wide foot for desks). Print out the necessary components at 25% infill, without support. The required parts are the "Slim Case with Grooves," "Case Mount," and "Upper Bracket." Use machine screws, washers, and nuts for assembly, choosing screw sizes based on what you have available. Drill holes to ensure a smooth fit with your screws. Attach the "Upper Bracket" to the back of the "Case Mount" using acetone or super glue, aligning it for a better visual reference. Trim the case's power button as needed for easy access. Use this mount as a desktop cradle or in your vehicle, ensuring adhesive won't damage surfaces if mounted on a dashboard. Suggestions and comments are welcome, and further enhancements like rotatable joints and additional pieces could be considered. Happy printing!
